NAME lyx - A Document Processor SYNOPSIS lyx [ command-line switches] [name.lyx ... ] DESCRIPTION LyX is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page format. If your system is properly configured, you can access the full documentation within LyX under the Help menu. LyX is a modern approach of writing documents with a com- puter which breaks with the tradition of the obsolete type- writer concept. It is designed for people who want a profes- sional output with a minimum of time effort, without becom- ing specialists in typesetting. Compared to common word pro- cessors, LyX will increase the productivity a lot, since most of the typesetting will be done by the computer, not the author. With LyX the author can concentrate on the con- tents of his writing, since the computer will take care of the look. Read more about this concept in the online docu- mentation under the Help menu. Currently, LyX uses the XForms library as a toolkit. LyX should run everywhere, where XForms runs. This is on all major Unix platforms as well as some PC platforms, including Sun, SGI, HP, Compaq Tru64, IBM RS6000, Convex, Cray, i386/Linux, Alpha/Linux, i386/FreeBSD, i386/NetBSD, DecSystem(mips)/Ultrix, OS/2 with XFree or PMX and others. OPTIONS LyX supports the following command-line switches, which can also be specified as X resources (e. g. in .Xdefaults) with class name LyX: -help summarizes LyX usage -sysdir directory sets system directory. Normally not needed. -userdir directory sets user directory. Needed if you want to use LyX with different lyxrc settings. -geometry WxH+X+Y specifies the preferred size and position of the main LyX window; see X(1). -dbg feature[,feature...] where feature is a name or number. Use "lyx -dbg" to see the list of available debug features. -x [--execute] command where command is a lyx command. -e [--export] fmt where fmt is the export format of choice. -i [--import] fmt file.xxx where fmt is the import format of choice and file.xxx is the file to be imported. Furthermore, LyX understands the following generic command line options from the Forms Library: -display host:display specifies the server to connect to. -bw borderwidth specifies the border width to use to built-in objects. -visual visualName requests a visual by name such as TrueColor etc. By default the Forms Library always selects the visual that has the most depth. -depth depth requests a specific depth. Try "-depth best" or "- depth 8" if you get a bad match. -debug level generates some info about the state of the XForms. where level is an integer between 1-5 and controls the amount of information to output. Depending on the options used when the Forms Library was built, a level more than 3 might not be available. -sync runs the application in synchronous mode with debug level set to 4. -private requests a private colormap for the application. -shared requests a shared colormap even if the application needs more colors than available. For those colors that can't be allocated in the shared colormap, sub- stitutions are made so the closest matching color is used. -stdcmap requests a standard colormap. -name newname specifies the application name under which resources are to be obtained, rather than the default executable file name. ENVIRONMENT LYX_DIR_11x can be used to specify which system directory to use. The system directory is determined by searching for the file "chkconfig.ltx". Directories are searched in this order: 1) -sysdir command line parameter 2) LYX_DIR_11x environment variable 3) Maybe <path of binary>/TOP_SRCDIR/lib 4) <path of binary>/../share/<name of binary>/ 5) hardcoded lyx_dir (usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX and %X11ROOT%\XFree86\lib\X11\lyx on OS/2 with XFree) LYX_USERDIR_11x can be used to specify which user directory to use. The user directory is, in order of precedence: 1) -userdir command line parameter 2) LYX_USERDIR_11x environment variable 3) $HOME/.<name of binary> if no explicit setting is made LYX_LOCALEDIR can be used to tell LyX where to look for the transla- tions of its GUI strings in other languages.

This is usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX and %X11ROOT%\XFree86\lib\X11\lyx on OS/2 with XFree. SEE ALSO reLyX(1), latex(1), xforms(5). Full documentation in either native LyX or postscript for- mat. BUGS/LIMITATIONS There are probably still some bugs in LyX. Please report them to [email protected] with detailed info, includ- ing which version of LyX you use. Consult the "Known Bugs" item under the Help menu first if possible. LaTeX import is still not perfect and may produce buggy *.lyx files. Consult the reLyX documentation. XFree on OS/2 currently does not support PC codepages. If you use emTeX to preview/print with cp850, etc., this might lead to strange emTeX error messages. Remedy: 1) In filenames use only A-Z, a-z, 1-9. 2) Install a recent LaTeX package inputenc.sty. Select Layout->Document->encoding:latin1, so that reLyX adds the LaTeX command '\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}'. LyX server has some limitations under OS/2: See Help- >Customization for details. Preview of inline images in rare cases does not show the image. If you want to preview the image, just click on it and choose fullscreen preview. If you have performance problems, please go through the lyxrc configuration file. It contains settings that can be used to improve performance on slow systems.
